Good news, Hillary supporters: Joe Lieberman is backing her up!

[geek tragedy]

When informed of Edwards’s remarks, Lieberman said, “It’s exactly the opposite. I think Sen. Edwards totally misreads it. It’s unfair to criticize Sen. Clinton for this vote. It was a sensible vote, a vote to try to use all the economic power we have so that we don’t have to contemplate military action against Iran.”

1. Smear by associaton gt?

tsk tsk

But look what Joe-mentum decided to bloviate

"Asked Tuesday whether he’ll endorse any candidate prior to the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses, Lieberman said no and repeated his previous statement that he’ll wait until both parties have settled on their presumptive nominees before he makes his endorsement."

[WCGreen]

2. Who gives a shit,,,

[rinsd]

3. C'mon its kind of funny that Joe thinks his endorsement has weight

[WCGreen]

8. What's infuriating is that MSNBC seems to think it does...

I think at this point even Hadasa wouldn't listen to him...

[rinsd]

9. "even Hadasa wouldn't listen to him"

:rofl:

[geek tragedy]

5. Come on, you have to admit this is funny:

"Do they not trust Joe Lieberman?"

[rinsd]

6. I admit it!

Of course that is funny. Its downright hilarious

:evilgrin:

[lapfog_1]

4. If Lieberman is for it and its related to foreign policy

and the ME... now I know for sure (not that I didn't before) that Hillary's vote was a mistake.

[JohnnyBoots]

18. What if she wins and made him Sec. of Def. Scary thought, eh?

[Capn Sunshine]

23. actually, very real possibility

Don't think that they aren't working AIPAC together:nuke:

[JohnnyBoots]

24. Now are you saying that because you are bashing HRC or anti-semetic.....It couldn't be the truth....

could it? I could surely see Lieberman as Sec. Def. Think he could get a VP slot?

[lapfog_1]

33. I think that would be unlikely... at least I hope it is. - n/t

[bunkerbuster1]

40. It gets that fucker out of the Senate. Maybe it's a net positive.

just sayin'.

[HooptieWagon]

7. Quid pro Quo

Supporting her for supporting his reelection bid in 06. That's what you Hillary voters are getting - a good buddy of Joe Lieberman and Rubert Murdoch and puppet of bigCorp and AIPAC... :puke:

[izquierdista]

10. How about a quickie poll here?

Lieberman, a cold sore, painful rectal itch. :boring: :grr: :hurts:

Which one can you put up with least?

[Carrieyazel]

11. That should be "bad news, Hillary supporters".

If Loserman is backing her, she might go into free-fall in the polls.

[Enrique]

12. supporting her for voting for the Kyl-LIEBERMAN legislation

duh.

[AtomicKitten]

13. birds of a feather and all that

Her supporters quibble with the word "endorsement" trying to spin the reality of the fact that it can also mean to advocate; ; to speak well of; to advise; to suggest and not necessarily simply a formal declaration.

And in that sense Lieberman does, in fact, endorse Hillary.

[SaveElmer]

15. Yeah I know what you mean...

And Joe and I don't agree on everything. But what I know is, Joe Lieberman's a man with a good heart, with a keen intellect, who cares about the working families of America."

"I am absolutely certain that Connecticut's going to have the good sense to send Joe Lieberman back to the United States Senate." - Barack Obama

[Skip Intro]

17. wow - Obama kissing up to Joe, where did you find that?

[rinsd]

19. 2006 Lamont vs Lieberman campaign.

It was quite a contentious issue here.

[desi]

20. Damn

K&R SaveElmer's post and bookmarking for future use. Sorry AK, gotta do this :rofl:

[Lord Helmet]

30. it's funny you guys think

you aren't already on ignore

:rofl:

[Nutmegger]

29. Screw you Obama! [n\t]

[jonnyblitz]

14. I wonder how poor Obama feels now that his mentor has chosen

somebody else! :rofl:

[otohara]

16. Better Than The Ghoul

I thought he'd endorse a puke

[bvar22]

21. As far as I'm concerned....

He has.


"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans. I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans, family farmers, and people who haven't felt the benefits of the economic upturn."---Paul Wellstone

[ChiciB1]

22. Man, Do I MISS Paul Wellstone!! Feingold Is The Next Best Thing....

but Bernie Sanders appeals to me a lot too!

[bvar22]

27. We pitch our tents....

...in the same camp.
:patriot:

[ChiciB1]

31. Glad To Have Another Person Who Agrees!

Five years ago, Paul Wellstone died on my birthday! Not that MY birthday is that important, but it's a reminder of Wellstone and how much I miss him each time it comes around!

As a Liberal and a Boomer who has lived in the SOUTH most of my life, he was such a Bright Leading STAR!!!

:dem: :toast:

[Lord Helmet]

25. 2 funny watching the Hillbots spin this

[mtnsnake]

37. And how would the "Hillbots" be spinning this?

Explain?

[Inuca]

26. I was hoping for an endorsment n/t

[killbotfactory]

28. Liebermania!

Maybe they can do something important, like think up a new way to ban violent video games

[bunkerbuster1]

41. It's JOEMENTUM!

you bastard!

--Holy Joe

[cyclezealot]

32. Not good news here. Only fuels my skepticism.

A kiss by Old Joe only tells us her Democratic base is not our base. Old blow hard Joe , must be fearing a stronger Democratic voice in the US Senate and he is trying to save his miserable soul.

[Perry Logan]

34. Far out. Even Joe gets things right once in a while.

[LoZoccolo]

35. Lame. n/t

[William769]

36. Good for her!

Mainstream America will look at it as a Independent backing a democrat.

[illinoisprogressive]

38. Well, they share very similar views on Foreign policy.

[William769]

39. Is that why Obama stood by his side?
